Pulse Charcoal

Name: Pulse Charcoal
Brand: Clarke & Clarke
SKU: CCF0025-03

Pulse Charcoal reads as a deep, warm charcoal rather than a flat black. Its dense velvet surface is covered by a fine, irregular cellular motif, with lighter pile catching across the lower part of the swatch.

About this fabric

At 627 gsm, this is a substantial velvet with a visibly dense, tactile handle suited to upholstery. The 22 cm vertical and 6.5 cm horizontal repeats keep the small, pebble-like pattern close and finely scaled across a cover. Against the charcoal-brown ground, the irregular outlines create a mineral-like surface, while variations in the pile soften the contrast and prevent the colour from looking uniform. The 143 cm usable width and 40 m standard length provide the supplied basis for planning larger upholstery projects.

How to use it

Use this warm charcoal-brown colourway to give a chair, sofa or ottoman a grounded, quietly dramatic finish. Its fine cellular texture works particularly well with dark timber, aged metal and lighter neutral walls that pick up the softer grey-brown tones.

A deep, tactile charcoal velvet that brings subtle pattern and tonal depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Pulse Charcoal is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
